Blocking malaria transmission

Series
Malaria
Embed
Dr Andrea Ruecker from MORU (Mahidol Oxford Research Unit) in Bangkok, Thailand, talks about possible interventions to block the transmission of falciparum malaria
In the falciparum malaria parasite cycle, the gametocyte stages are responsible for the transmission from person to mosquito, then to other persons. A better understanding of how gametocytes respond to malaria treatments would help us block transmission and ultimately eliminate malaria.

Fighting malaria in Myanmar

Series
Malaria
Embed
Professor Frank Smithuis from our MOCRU unit in Myanmar tells us about his research on malaria
Although malaria is decreasing in Myanmar, resistance to anti-malarials is on the rise in the region and the focus is now to treat people early, particularly in remote communities. MOCRU has set up a network of community health workers, trained and supplied with diagnostics, bednets and treatments, to help improve access to healthcare as well as produce the evidence to encourage policy changes.

Primaquine and vivax malaria

Series
Malaria
Embed
Dr James Watson from MORU in Bangkok, Thailand, tells us about his research in the biology of relapse in vivax malaria, as well as the development of statistical models to better understand the pharmacology of antimalarial drugs.
Primaquine is a drug used to eliminate vivax malaria from the liver and prevent relapses. However, it causes anaemia in patients with G6PD deficiency. A new, slightly longer regimen with increasing doses of primaquine could allow to safely treat all patients with vivax malaria.

Using big data to eliminate malaria

Series
Malaria
Embed
Dr Xin Hui Chan from MORU (Mahidol Oxford Research Unit) in Bangkok, Thailand, tells us about the use of big data in our efforts to eliminate malaria
Malaria is the most important parasitic infection to still affect humans, and a safe use of antimalarial drugs is paramount. The current explosion of clinical data is causing a jungle of data; making sense of all this data will greatly help us in our fight to eliminate malaria.

Malaria elimination and mass drug administration

Series
Malaria
Embed
Dr Tom Peto from MORU (Mahidol Oxford Research Unit) in Bangkok, Thailand, tells us how mass drug administration can help eliminate malaria
Although malaria has greatly declined in Southeast Asia this century, treating clinical cases won’t be sufficient to eliminate it from the region. Mass drug administration allows to eliminate parasites from asymptomatic carriers, and careful engagement with whole communities is key.

Primaquine for vivax and falciparum malaria

Series
Malaria
Embed
Dr Bob Taylor from MORU (Mahidol Oxford Research Unit) in Bangkok, Thailand, tells us about his research on malaria, and how we can use primaquine to treat vivax malaria and prevent the transmission of falciparum malaria
Primaquine can be used both to treat vivax malaria and to prevent the transmission of falciparum malaria from human to mosquito. A shorter and age-based primaquine regimen would reduce the burden of vivax malaria. It would also allow primaquine to be used more widely to block the transmission of falciparum malaria.

Europe, Migration and Cities

Series
Kellogg College
Embed
Convened by: Kellogg Urban Knowledge Exchange. A multidisciplinary seminar, as part of the Kellogg Urban Knowledge Exchange series in association with Maison Française Oxford.
What opportunities and challenges lie ahead for migrants, settlers and cities in Europe?

Debates, arguments and shifting boundaries have generated a new landscape for migration and mobility, particularly across Europe in recent years. We have asked leading voices from all sides of the current European contexts to share their views on the opportunities and challenges ahead for a changing Europe, and fluctuating global circumstances, at public debate.
Chaired by Sarah Spencer, COMPAS Director of Strategy and Senior Fellow, University of Oxford, with Phoebe Clay, Institute for Public Policy Research and Michael Keith, Centre Director, COMPAS, University of Oxford
